Research Interests

Cellular Protein Homeostasis, Mitochondrial Biology, Adipocyte Biology, Immunometabolism

As a PhD candidate, my research focuses on the connections between cellular protein homeostasis and energy metabolism. Central to my work is understanding how proteasome dysfunction affects mitochondrial import and functionality, with a particular focus on the roles of regulatory transcription factors. My goal is to uncover the broader implications of proteostasis in cellular health, emphasizing the dynamic communication between the proteasome, mitochondria, and nucleus.

In parallel, I am investigating a novel regulatory protein of brown adipocytes to better understand its metabolic implications for cellular function. This aligns with my broader interest in how cells adapt and regulate energy metabolism. Additionally, I am interested in the interplay between brown adipose tissue and macrophage-derived cytokines, examining how these interactions influence metabolic processes and functional responses. Together, these projects aim to reveal the complex molecular pathways that sustain energy balance and intercellular communication.
